They are telling you how to be saved.”She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became upset. Turning around, he spoke to the spirit that was in her.“ In the name of Jesus Christ,” he said,“ I command you to come out of her!” At that very moment the spirit left the woman.Her owners realized that their hope of making money was gone.
